Its been 10 years since this event was run - click here for a collection of photos of that trip

Participants are required to make own booking arrangements - there is the range of options for cabin/onsite van accommodation - Ive attached booking site details but please note the dates are not as shown in these documents -

Oct6-Oct10 is the correct date range

Hopefully people will consider car pooling and expense sharing as its a 6 hour drive from Albury Wodonga - if so we will meet at Bunnings car park in Wodonga at 8am

This is a wonderful opportunity to get to know or be reacquainted with Gariwerd National Park aka the Grampians one of the most biodiverse national parks in South Eastern Australia.

This park is a national treasure and is listed on the national heritage list

We will base camp at Happy Wanderer resort which is at Wartook just outside the park and about 20km north of Halls Gap on the road to Horsham
